The bull, pictured here, reluctantly trudged downstairs after emergency workers lassoed the object of his affections.

Concerned residents of a five-story building called the emergency services to alert them to terrifying sounds coming from a pair of cattle behaving indecently on the stairwell.

The incident occurred in the Irkutsk region village of Chuna in late July.

“The residents had tried to interrupt the bull’s courtship, but the bull himself was clearly determined. There was nothing to do, so they called the Emergency Situations Ministry,” local officials wrote.
